Abstract
The article considers the regional aspects of the present development of the Central Asian region. The article analyzes why and how the attitude of the world’s leading centers towards Central Asia has changed, what significance the region is acquiring today in international politics. The article studies tendencies in multidirectional aspirations of external players, elements of possible cooperation and rivalry between them. In addition, the article touches upon the internal conflict potential of countries and its influence on the formation of a new regional political environment. The article also considers some security issues, in particular, the impact of the current situation in Afghanistan in connection with the seizure of power by the Taliban, on the already difficult regional political environment of Central Asia. Understanding the specifics of the regional political environment of Central Asia is necessary, first of all, for the states of the region themselves, to take constructive actions to maintain the stability of the region, by creating mechanisms for coordinating collective decisions, deepening mutual cooperation in practical terms, finding compromise solutions to resolve existing disputes and disagreements in order to ensure a more effective implementation of their national interests.
